working on a few things for a friend of mine who has a farm. He's got quite a crop of huge fat rabbits he breeds as meat animals.

Calling on hunters here who have hunted and prepped rabbit for any tips. If I want a giant rabbit for the dinner table, I have to kill and dress it on premesis, then throw it in a cooler to take home. (about 30 minutes drive from home)

My friend advises immediately prepping it, and not waiting till I get home to skin it, as it will stiffen up and be hard to do he says (especially with the current weather). Or he suggests throwing it live in the trunk of my 240, which I guess would work as well, and making a fresh kill at home.

The Mrs may object to this process though, so id like to take care of it at his place.

Anyone prepped a rabbit have any tips?

EDIT- hes the type of guy who will say nothing about how he does it, preferring the entertainment value of someone making a botch of it, and I don't want to ruin or waste what should be a delicious meal screwing it up too bad. He wants to see what I come up with as far as interweb research on how I kill the rabbit by hand, then how I prep it
